This year, the Khitan did not have a good time, and the Great Zhou soldiers who fought against the Khitan were also not peaceful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few years ago, in order to take advantage of the lingering illness of the Great Zhou Emperor, the Khitan army wanted to attack the city and conquer the city first, in order to have a good year.

Unexpectedly, before they could make a move, Zhao Kuangyin was actually sent here with reinforcements to guard the front line.

Zhao Kuangyin's prestige has long been famous all over the world.

In the sixth year of Xiande, Zhao Kuangyin led 2,000 soldiers to kill 5,000 elite soldiers in Nantang in the Battle of Liuhe, and defeated the 20,000 elites of Li Jingda, the king of Qi in Nantang, which opened his first battle of winning more with less, and also let the world see his combat bravery. Then there was the battle of the Purple Mountain, as well as the battle of the vortex, the front of the palace commanded Zhao Kuangyin and General Zhao to be brave and strategic, good at winning more with less, and fighting every time, and made indelible achievements for the capture of Nantang by the Great Zhou.

Right now, this Zhao Kuangyin was sent to the north by Chai Rong, how dare they attack on a large scale.

Although the Khitan army did not move, it still sent small groups of troops to infiltrate the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty from time to time, burning, killing, looting and harassing them, so that the border people were not at peace.

Since Li Tianlei arrived at the border, he rarely rested, he went out to patrol every day, as long as he encountered the Khitan army, he would definitely go all out to kill and not leave a single mouth alive.

Whenever people in the barracks talked about his cruel style, his cold eyes swept over at a glance, making people feel as terrible as bloodthirsty.

There was already an extremely terrifying scar on his face, coupled with the murderous aura that was faintly permeated all day long, so that the timid people did not dare to approach a step.

Li Tianlei always likes to stand on a high place and look at the south, and always feels that no matter how many Khitan people are killed, they can't avenge Xie Yujiao's killing.

*************

Old Man Qu can't remember how many years he hasn't had a New Year.

This year, there is a little more person in the family, which also allows him to relive the joy and excitement of the New Year again.

Although the year has been lively, the good days have passed quickly, and it has reached the ninth day of the new year in a blink of an eye.

As the old saying goes, 'Seven don't go out, eight don't go home', which means that it is not advisable to go out on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and it is not appropriate to return home on the eighth day of the first month.

Therefore, Xie Yujiao discussed with Old Man Qu earlier, and hired a car to leave for Li Tianlei in the capital on the ninth day of the first month.

Although Li Tianlei is not Xie Yujiao's person, she thinks that if she wants to return to her home in Rongzhou as soon as possible, I am afraid that she will only rely on Li Tianlei to have a better chance.

This is whether she is coerced to repay the favor, or it is like a kraft candy that can't be removed if it is sticked, Xie Yujiao relies on Li Tianlei, and there is no way to do it.

The whole capital is still in the New Year's festival at the beginning of the new year, and the first heavy snow of the new year on the third day of the new year has not yet melted, and the biting cold wind blows in the face, like the long tongue of a giant beast, which makes people's cheeks hurt.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and the occasional person passing by is in a hurry.

When Xie Yujiao first arrived in the capital, for fear of getting lost in this prosperous capital, she deliberately wrote down the alley where Li Tianlei arranged for them to live in the small courtyard. Therefore, Old Man Qu and Xie Yujiao sat on the borrowed ox cart, and they didn't make much detour against the cold wind, and came to the door of the small courtyard smoothly and knocked on the door.

Xie Yujiao was in front of the door with the old man Qu and the coachman, and no one opened the door for a long time in the biting cold wind.

Xie Yujiao had no choice but to let Old Man Qu help her get out of the car, and she knocked on the door with her small fist and shouted:

"Amber, Granny Chen, are you here, I'm Yujiao, I'm back"

"Amber! Granny Chen! ”

......

I shouted for a long time, but I didn't hear any movement in the yard.

Xie Yujiao was worried, thinking about how there would be no one in the courtyard during the Chinese New Year.

At this time, the courtyard door next to it creaked open, and a middle-aged woman looked into the door with a wary face and asked, "Who are you?" Who to look for? ”

Xie Yujiao was arrested after only one night here, so she didn't know who the neighbors lived in.

At this time, when I saw that someone next door came out, I didn't care if I knew it or not, so I hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

"This aunt, I am Granny Chen's distant niece and granddaughter, and I came to visit her old man's home. Do you know where she went? And Amber together, have you seen it?"

The woman looked like a beautiful little girl, and it seemed that she was still hurting her leg, and she rushed over on this cold day, and she couldn't even knock on the door, so she was pitiful, so she let down her vigilance, "Oh, look for Granny Chen, she should go back to her hometown, as for the Amber you said, is it the old man who stayed here for a few days and left, he has already left." ”

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she was really taken aback, "Huh? It's all gone, so who guards this courtyard? ”

"Guards? There is no one to guard it, I heard that the yard has been sold by the first owner, and the new owner's house will come to clean up after the New Year. ”

"Sold? How did it sell? Do you know Li Tianlei and Brother Li? It's the young man who rented this yard. ”

"I don't know who you're talking about? I've only seen a few young people come a few years ago, and I don't know which one is the one you're looking for. It's so cold, I think you better hurry up and find a place to rest and warm up, others from far away haven't found it, and they're frozen again. The woman was kind, and didn't forget to remind them before closing the door.

"Hey, got it, thank you aunt!"

The woman shuddered and closed the courtyard door, leaving three people and one cow outside the door, not knowing where to go in the cold wind.

"Grandpa, what should I do, I can't even find Brother Li, I'm really homeless now, grandpa" Xie Yujiao panicked, her trembling voice obviously made Old Man Qu feel that she was scared, she really didn't know where to go next.

The world is so big, there is no place for her.

"Dad, mother, how can I get back to you, I miss you." After saying that, he was squatting in the cold wind and crying.

She cried so sadly, so sadly, so desperately, that tears poured out of her eye sockets like a flood that had burst the embankment.

Old man Qu stood beside Xie Yujiao, waiting for her to cry as much as she wanted without saying a word, and when the little girl was done venting, he touched her head with his calloused palm, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, isn't there still a grandfather who can't find you?" Why don't you go back first, and then plan slowly, grandpa can always find a way to let you go home. ”

"Grandpa, will you take me in?" Xie Yujiao squatted on the ground, her dark eyes were full of tears, and the tears that had not been shed were like a layer of crystal glass, flashing with a frightened look, looking at the loving old man in front of her.

"What stupid things to say, don't dislike grandpa's shabby place"

The little girl smiled when she heard this, stood up, put her arm around the old man, and said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." It's just that I really rely on you from now on! ”

"You call me grandpa, old man, can I still watch you live on the streets? Let's go home first."

"Hey!"

The grandfather and grandson hurriedly climbed into the ox cart, urging the handlebar to find a rest shop as soon as possible to rest for the night, and then rush back at dawn tomorrow.

came with great anticipation, but returned disappointed and lonely.

Returning to this simple and unpretentious village again, Xie Yujiao couldn't express her feelings.

It's really a bumpy road, don't you just want to go home? How hard is it?
